Methanol:-
Methanol is the first member of the homologous series of alkane-derived alcohols. It has similar chemical properties to ethanol. Methanol is, of course, highly toxic. Its use can lead to blindness, and in higher dosages of around 50 ml, even to death. Methanol is a clear, colourless liquid with a characteristic odour. In industry, methanol is used in the production of formaldehyde, esters and acetic acid.
